The Blessed Mazhaar of Shaikh Salim Chishti Rahmatullahu Alai at Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India. He is the descendant of Sultan-ul-Hind Sayyadinah Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti Hassan Sanjari Ajmeeri Radi Allahu Anhu.
Shaikh Salim Chisti Rahmatullahu Alai is a Chishti Saint who lived in the village of Sikri, as an ascetic. He came to imperial notice when he correctly predicted the birth of the Mughal Emperor Akbar 's son Jahangir, and cared for his wife during her pregnancy. It was to thank and honor this Saint that Emperor Akbar, in 1571, established the palatial-religious complex of Fatehpur Sikri on the site of Shaikh Salim's (Rahmatullahu Alai) village, making it his capital. The Saint passed away shortly after the construction began. His tomb is of white marble, and sits in an enclosure with a pool. The entrance porch is held up by unusual, curved-shaped supports. A verandah enclosed by a finely carved perforated screen surrounds the main tomb hall. At its center is the cenotaph, sheltered by a canopy decorated with mother-of-pearl. A wide marble dome covers the structure.Source: Tillotson, G.H.R. 1990. Mughal India.

So Shaykh Salim Chisti Rehmatullahi ’Alaih is from the time of the Emperor Jahangir. His mausoleum and surrounding buildings are quite magnificent and grand in architecture. Overshadowed by the Taj Mahal just a bit though. |
